What were your favorite moments of the marathon?

Man the forums are booming more than they have in a while! Because of this, I think it would be awesome to hear what some of everyone's favorite moments were as well as to bring a lighter note to some of the post-marathon discussions. I'm certain I'm going to read some things I missed, so I'm excited to see what everyone enjoyed!

One of the biggest highlights for me was the run of Paper Mario. The commentary and entertainment during this section was through the roof. Eating crickets, chugging bacon soda, geography quiz (with an awesome hand drawn map!!!), and so much excitement on stream.

Second, I'm not sure why this strikes me as such an awesome moment, was Sharmell's run of the Super Peach. I had never even heard of the game. It was Sharmell's first on stream run (I believe) and she did an awesome job! I was watching Blau and Sharmell's reactions during it and it was a very endearing segment.

oh man, I forgot about the bacon soda. It was amazing that the run of paper mario that jaz did. I haven't really see anyone play through it that fast on stream.

^ this. That's why I thought it was so amazing. I didn't feel like it was a bad game either. In fact I found the game a little bit better than some of the other games. She did an amazing job of speedrunning it for her first attempt. I hope that I get to see her and blaumagier at the next marathon.

Re: What were your favorite moments of the marathon?

I have a bad memory and can't really remember many specific moments I enjoyed (plus I probably missed a lot of the highlights because of my time zone and having had a relatively busy week), but what stuck with me was Stonepaw getting his head dunked into his birthday cake, Wario Land run was great, the end of Blau/Alan's race was exciting even though the technical issues and stuff.

Re: What were your favorite moments of the marathon?

The Paper Mario run was very engaging and entertaining. My only wish is that I could have watched more of it, but I had to leave for a Doctor's appointment. That's what I like to see from runs most of all, when the gamer is interacting and commenting with the audience. Very insightful and fun! =)

The Mario vs. Luigi civil war was great! I also thought the auctions were very fun to watch, especially the first one when it was so up in the air about who would have won. It was really cool to see people coming together to donate for the different auction teams.

I also agree with the Super Princess Peach run. I was commentating during that run, and as someone who absolutely despises Princess Peach, it was really cool to see that game in action. So major shoutouts to Blau and Sharmell for bringing that to the table. It was awesome!

All of the races were very interesting to watch as well. I know that was when there were a lot more technical issues, but the hype was definitely real and that's what I like to see.

Also enjoyed all of Bek and Stonepaw's shifts. Those two always have a very natural ability to have a good and fun time and make the viewers feel at home, so I was very tuned in to the marathon during those shifts.

There was also a moment during one of Britt's last shifts where they called the herb candy distributors and asked if it was ok to consume more than two herb drops and the lady he was talking to was so confused and didn't know what he was talking about. So hilarious. XD

The auctions were awesome. I'm honestly stunned that the first one almost ended with the winner at $20. Then it went on to have the winner at, what, $200 or so?
